  *++Lyrics|\\
Just like the sunrise, you came to me it seems,\\
Just like the sunrise, you woke me from my dreams.\\
You were my sunshine, in days that used to be;\\
I await the sunset, for now you're leaving me.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Tho' it's time for parting,\\
And my tears are starting,\\
Leave me with a smile.\\
Tho' your heart may cry, dear;\\
When you say goodbye, dear,\\
Leave me with a smile.\\
Maybe it's forever,\\
So while we're together,\\
For a little while;\\
Hold me like a flower,\\
For one little hour,\\
And leave me with a smile.\\
\\
Your smiles are sunshine upon on a rainy day,\\
They bring me gladness, and drive my blues away.\\
Before you go, dear, just smile once more for me;\\
It will always be, dear, My treasured memory.\\
